Brazilian FOB soybean oil is expected to stay at an unusual discount to Argentina's FOB Up River, as slow crushing in Brazil tightens soyoil availability. Brazil's basis was 6.5 cents under October futures versus Argentina's 5.5 cents, and the gap has widened through August.
Tighter Brazilian soyoil supply and a shift in export-origin spreads redirect export flows and support South American soyoil prices, while slow crush also reduces meal output.
